The issue of overtourism is an issue that frequently comes to the fore both in tourism literature and destination management. Overtourism means that a destination receives more visitors than its capacity at certain times or exceeds its carrying capacity. The aim of this study is to examine some of the destinations in the world that struggle with overtourism within the framework of what is happening. Within the scope of the purpose of the study, some important destinations from around the world were selected as examples. A literature review was conducted regarding these destinations. Through the information obtained; The problems that destinations experience due to overtourism and the practices of destination management to solve these problems have been determined. According to the findings; It has been determined that the problems experienced by the destinations and the measures they take are generally similar.
